Jennifer L. Armentrout Quote

Slowly, I reached over and poked his arm. It felt like real flesh, warm and hard. Disappointed, I poked him again. I was expecting something amazing—celestial—by touching him. Instead all I got were weird looks from everyone in the room, including Apollo. Please stop touching me, Apollo said. I jabbed his arm again. Sorry. It’s just that you’re real. I mean, I just thought you guys weren’t really around here. Alex. Aiden sat on the edge of the bed. You should probably stop touching him. Whatever. I dropped my hand into my lap. I still wanted to touch him, though, which was really weird. I kind of wanted to rub all over him like a cat or something… and that was more than weird, and a little uncomfortable.
